DQ May 22
Interview Feb 8, 8:45
 
I'm admittedly freaking out at how little time I've got to get everything together, especially since I'm still recovering from Covid.
 
Any recommendations for how close to the appt I can push the medical?

Agreed that it's a hard week. My DQ date is May 22, so we're pretty much next in line. 
 
The lack of transparency from the consulate is frustrating, especially considering they only give a couple of weeks if lead time if you're scheduled for the beginning of the month. So hard to make plans!

As we approach 200 pages, which I understand is the max for a thread, I'd like for this thread not just peter out, but end with purpose by including a link to the awesome FAQ (and of course a link to the new thread where we'll want to keep talking). We've posted 1800+ times in this thread and the info throughout has been incredibly useful, albeit challenging to search through. That FAQ has been key. For the sake of future VJers who jump to the end of a thread hoping for a summary, I suggest we provide the FAQ. 

This does make me wonder if they're still going to schedule the next batch though...

Good to know, thanks!
Thanks, I'll be glad to share my experience afterwards

Being in the medical field, (specifically radiology) the x-ray images differences  between active TB and Covid + are very distinct. The reading Radiologist would be able to tell the difference. Make sure you do have your pcr covid testing certificate to show you are cleared too.

What date are we expecting to hear about the next batch of interviews? Potentially late next week?

Sheesh. Sounds like it would've taken less time to pick up an envelope.

When interviews were being rescheduled a few members had police certificates that were expiring shortly after their interview. One person mentioned they had been told by their lawyer that the visa would expire the date the certificate did but that was proven false once members had started going through their interviews. As long as it was not expired it was accepted and their visa expiration was on the medical date. That being said if you are worried about it feel free to grab another one preemptively.

You can get titres done for everything but Tdap, which you should be getting boosters for ~every 10 years anyway. I had titres done and they were accepted for anything I didn't have proof of (e.g. varicella).
